Generally speaking, the debate focuses on the elaboration and establishment of arguments, and on self-expression and persuasion. The second debate pays more attention to the analysis and refutation of the argumentation methods of oneself and opponents, and pays attention to the argumentation depth and logic.
Specifically, a debate usually expounds its own arguments at the beginning, and then proves the correctness of its arguments by explaining and quoting existing research and data. In this process, a debate emphasizes its own views as much as possible and impresses the audience with various languages and techniques. At the same time, a debate will also try to refute the opponent's point of view and show its persuasiveness without leaving room.
The second debate pays more attention to critical thinking, and will analyze and question the arguments expounded in the first debate. At the same time, the second debate also needs to have enough rebuttal ability to criticize the viewpoints and argumentation methods put forward by the opponent and show its logic and depth. Therefore, the second debate needs to have sufficient argumentation experience and critical thinking ability, and respond quickly and put forward strong rebuttal opinions after the opponent speaks.
